I was wondering if I can add my Direct Express Card (social security) as a payment method on paypal?

And use it to pay someone thru paypal. Does anyone know?

 

thanks

While Prepaid cards can be used, they don't always work to pass PayPal's security procedures due to the disposable nature of most prepaid cards.

 

That said, make sure the card is registered and manageable online (so you can check card activity for the $1.95 temporary charge and 4-digit PayPal code and issued refunds) and your name and billing address on card matches the PayPal account. Link it as a card, not bank account. Note that card can't be used to verify your PayPal account and PayPal funds instant transfers for 1% fee cannot be made to it.

 

After successfully confirming, then select card as payment method at checkout and PayPal will generally charge the card directly for your transaction.

 


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
